LOL.... no, I should have. I would need to do that in an accent though, right? LOL.

Being in IT support myself, I'm constantly trying to explain things that no one understands. Once I see their eyes gloss over I say something like "The driver for this component was old and geekity, geekity geek now it works fine". I basically use geekity geekity geek like they used yada yada yada on Seinfeld if anybody gets that reference.

Sometimes when gotta P you REALLY gotta P. But seriously can you map it using a UNC path instead of IP Address? You'd never have to worry about the IPs changing again. Geekity geek...

Yes, I do - and 99% of the time that works. However, if the Domain Name Server does not tell the requesting PC that the IP has updated/changed, then it is still going after the old IP that was once associated with that host.
Remapping always fixes it, but trying to explain that to a non-IT person is fun.
I consistently have this issue with networked printers mapped through UNC..... but I am almost all converted to dedicated IP addy's on printers now.
BTW - when this occurs, it is with a UNC on a different subnet - and one of these days I am going to figure out why it's breaking off like that. Just not on my top of the list right now, LOL.

I've been taillight looking for a while, but most won't ship to Alaska free. Most want around 70 to ship.
But I finally prevailed. Been looking at a set of Spyders (I'll reseal before putting them in) that I wanted. I almost gave up, when I remembered that you could long list the products there, and do it by price (l to h). The first item was a set what I wanted for only $21.14 w free shipping. I popped it up and they had 1 set left. I snatched them up. After check out, Amazon warehouse gave me $4.23 (20% disc), so I paid 16.91 for the set. Score, lol.

Now an XLT in Colorado
I'd really like to see a set of those in person, as I think they'd be a nice compliment to my black Harlightning headlights, and blend well with the DSG. I'm just not sure enough to pull the trigger. Of course, for <$20, I would. Nice score!

So, after looking behind it as best I could, I got brave with the drill, and put holes in the panel. 3/4" screws won't hit anything but air, and though I swore there'd be metal behind it, I didn't hit any. No matter, four screws should support the mount and detachable head without any problem, though I might put some 3M VHB tape behind the plate as an added measure.
